[ASFN Admin]

The Knicks, fresh off their NBA title victory in San Antonio, landed Sunday at Westchester County Airport.

Air traffic controllers in New York congratulated the team on ATC frequency as they approached New York airspace on their return fight.

Players were then greeted by cheering fans, members of the Westchester County Airport Precinct and airport staff.

We wear the WCPD blue and orange with pride every day, but they were especially the right colors today! Our Airport Precinct officers and Airport Operations staff were on hand to welcome the NBA champion New York Knicks back home to Westchester County Airport.

Some signed autographs upon leaving the airport, which was captured on video by ABC 7's Chantee Lans.



It will be a week of celebrating the Knicks in New York, culminating in a ticker-tape parade down the Canyon of Heroes on Thursday.
